Great soup! I did make a number of changes. Rather than the concentrated broth and water, I used all chicken broth. I skipped the bacon entirely. I used 1/4 cup butter and 5T. flour. I skipped the sherry also, because I didn’t have any. I added 1/2 cup carrots and 1/2 cup chopped celery. I shouldn’t have cut the flour quite as much as I did because my soup never really thickened, which caused all the solids in the soup to sink to the bottom. I would have preferred them to be somewhat suspended in the soup, but that is easily corrected next time.

Fantastic. Creamy! (I used Silk Soy instead of half and half- lacto intolerant) I have nothing negative to say about this!

I just made this using some leftover turkey breast. This soup had great flavor and was easy to make. I prefer my soup a little more meaty, so I doubled the amount of turkey - since I had it anyway. I also added some carrot that I had in the freezer. If I make this again, I would try adding a little more rice as well. Omitted the bacon. I think the soup is fine without it!

First try at homemade soup and it turned out delicious!! Two teen boys ate 2 bowls and husband said it is the last time I cook out of boxes. Oh yes, did I say it turned out great...

A-M-A-Z-I-N-G! I played around with this recipe only because I didn’t have everything on hand. I used white onion instead of green onion, brown rice instead of wild, real bacon bits instead of bacon, seasoning salt instead of poultry seasoning, and I omitted the dry sherry completely. Since I was trying to use up turkey from Thanksgiving AND because my husband likes thick, meaty soups, I actually used 4 cups of diced turkey and made the soup very thick….almost like a chowder. It was divine! I’ve made it two more times since and it’s just an incredibly wonderful soup and really simple to make. Oh, and my picky 9 year old AND 2 year old ate it, and the hubby has asked me to make it again! THANK YOU, JORDANNA!

Very good, even my 5 year old grandson liked it! I added leftover turkey gravy to it too.

This soup was fantastic- and I don't say that often! I have had wild rice soups in the past that I just didn't care for. This recipe is a keeper. It's a great way to use up leftover Thanksgiving turkey. Only change I made was to add some chopped celery, carrot, and garlic. The sherry at the end adds great flavor- don't leave that out.

Even the kids liked this one - I think the bacon sold it! Leftover turkey soup is never one of the favorites but this creamy version was delicious. I used leftover gravy as part of the liquid for cooking the rice.
